Incorrect de-icing of Brussels Airlines airplane in Rome

Has somebody more details concerning the incorrect de-icing of a Brussels Airlines airplane in Rome the previous week? Apparently a serious part of the wing profile was still covered with snow after de-icing and fortunately a cabin crew member detected this dangerous situation minutes before take-off.

Royal Jordanian Airlines will suspend its route between Amman and Brussels. They will also decrease frequencies to Amsterdam.

Two different Belgian Herculeses also visited Antwerp this January.
Thanks for the clarification! Apparently it was only one Antonov and the other one was indeed the Hercules.

Antonovs last week @ ANR

Hello,

Yesterday I've heard that last week two Russian cargo planes (probably Antonovs) visited Antwerp with a "special load".
Could somebody provide me the regs and/or destination of those planes that visited ANR?

Kind regards,

Indeed, mixed up BA with SN.

Re: Charleroi Airport (CRL) latest news 2012

I have no clue why JAF opted to start this route. Nevertheless this is the second domestic route that JAF started in France after Brest - Toulon (but that had something to do with military traffic?).

Re: brussels airlines to New York!

Primarily they want to target Jet Airways on this route. Why target Jet? Do they want Jet to dismantle their BRU hub or drive them away to Skyteam? If they want to drive someone from BRU-NYC it will be AA. DL is well established and I doubt Skyteam will give up on BRU-NYC as they likely will have e...

Re: brussels airlines to New York!

I heard today that SN has a codeshare agreement with United Airlines for their flight to JFK. Primarily they want to target Jet Airways on this route. This person also told me that SN is targetting SFO as their second US-destination.

They are significantly cheaper then all other US carriers ex-Bru (i.e. 700€ instead of +1000€). Ex-AMs and ex-Dus are also more expensive. Flights are loaded with 757 for all legs...

Re: Skyteam is chasing Jet Airways

Luchtvaartnieuws.nl and Indian media are reporting that Jet Airways is intending to start this winter non-stop flights between Amsterdam and Delhi. Any consequences for their Brussels-operations and/ or possible Star Alliance membership?
